Next Patient

I had been wondering when it would be released, and in the end it met my expectations. It was also important to me that the developer listened to feedback and made updates accordingly. I don’t recall encountering any bugs—nothing that interfered with the gameplay happened to me. Clara… you talk a bit too much and take up time; shorter lines would have been better. The presence of multiple endings makes it worth replaying, and to the question “should I buy it?”, my answer is yes. I also think the game length is sufficient—it didn’t feel boring—and I really liked the end-of-day music.

The oppressive political environment makes you feel the dystopia every day. After every decision, I'm tense, waiting for that voice to come out, wondering if I've made a mistake. I think the story is well-structured. I just wish that after finishing the game once, I could skip the tutorial when starting again to see different endings.

It's an okay game, especially for the low price (especially since I got it on sale), but I still wouldn't really recommend it. I wish there was a neutral rating... I had to double-check if this was still in early access or not. It ended very abruptly after 28 days or so (I didn't really pay attention to the exact day, but it was somewhere around one month), without reason, I didn't run out of money, lose my job or anything. Maybe I just reached the end of the playable story. Instead of finishing to tell the story via newspaper, letters and people visitng, it just ended in some pictures + text explaining the remaining story. What I found weird as well, was that some criteria kept being there, but were never a problem except the first few days after they appeared. At some point I was tempted to just not check anymore, but probably that would have been the point when it actually failed, so I kept checking... Would also have been nice to see more easily which criteria changed day by day, instead of having to go through the whole list again every time and then maybe finding out nothing changed.

This is such a good game; it is very similar to Paper Please, but you're at a medical checkpoint. Very relaxing and entertaining game. What I would like to point out is how the dev wants and listens to feedback; this person cares about their game and audience. I will definitely be buying games from this dev again. Thank you and keep up the good work.

I had the opportunity to try the game from the development stage onwards. During the testing process, I observed that the developer took feedback very seriously and made many adjustments and improvements. Since I enjoy games of this genre, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I think it has a very interesting and intriguing story.

My girlfriend recommended this game to me, but since I’m currently in exam season I sadly couldn’t play it as much as I wanted. Even so, I already became really curious about seeing the longterm consequences of my decisions and how each person you let through can completely change the atmosphere of the story. I also like how the game mixes tension, mystery, and emotional moments without overdoing it. It has that “just one more day” feeling where you keep wanting to see what happens next and whether you made the right choices.
